Do You Realize How Little 
A Greenhouse Costs? 
Most folks associate a greenhouse with unwar¬ 
ranted luxury. They have no idea that a hand¬ 
some Callahan Greenhouse can be erected for as 
little as $500; some models even less expensive. 
Many Callahan owners are raising crisp lettuce 
and fragrant flowers for their own tables the 
year ’round, and are easily and profitably dis¬ 
posing of their surplus. 
CALLAHAN SECTIONAL 
GREENHOUSES 
are built entirely at our factory in completely finished unit 
sections. Two men in two days can completely erect a 
large house.

Rain When You Want It 
No More Dry Spells 
Skinner Irrigation Co., 
Troy, Ohio 
Gentlemen: 
It is now about a month since I 
have had your system installed. We 
did have some dry weather, so that 
I had a chance to try it out. I have 
had a number of friends come and 
look at it, they all agree with me that 
it is surely a wonderful system. 
It has given to my garden just what 
it needs. It has put under my con¬ 
trol the efficiency of raising vegetables 
in my garden practically 100%, for 
no matter whether it rains or not, I 
can have just the moisture that I 
need. I can picture the delight which 
May 24, 1923. I am going to have when for weeks 
later on we will not have in the ground 
just the moisture it requires. 
It works perfectly, in fact much 
better than I had any idea of. I can 
only say that for anyone who has a 
garden and wants to see things grow, 
he can hardly get along without one of 
these systems. It is surely a pleasure. 
I beg to add that any time you wish, 
I should be very glad to have any¬ 
one look at my outfit, and be pleased 
to show it to them. 
Very truly yours, 
F. W. Janssen,
